I can't believe that fall semester is almost over. Everything is going by so fast. Thanksgiving break is almost here! Just the other day I was talking with one of my friends and it felt as though just yesterday, I was moving in on campus. Its crazy how times flies. But in the midst of all the excitement of senior year, it still is senior year! The classes are a bit tougher but majority of them are things that really interest me. Its why I came here in the first place. Right now, I'm in between classes and in the B&E computer lab working on my senior research project (taking a little break to talk to you guys), but its so surreal.

These last couple of months have been a bit trying and the stress meter reached its breaking point many times but I'm getting through it, and as I've been thinking about everything over the last couple of years in school its well worth it. No need to stress!

Lastly, I want to Thank everyone that helped to make the RSA Halloween Safe Trick or Treat a wonderful event. We really appreciate the support.

Ttyl!!!

It's been one of those weeks again. So far this week I've had two quizzes, 1 test and a rough draft to my senior year research paper due in about an hour. Sleep right now is down to a bare minimum. But I'm hanging in there. With 2 more test to go, one of them being physics, Thanksgiving break is look more and more appealing everyday. I finally get to go home, for more than 1 night, and see my family!

I also have to go to work tonight. Work is a bit time consuming, it takes up about 25 hours of my week that could be devoted to other things, like going to basketball games and attending the AASA talent show tonight. This will be the first one that I have miss since I've been here. The international festival is tonight, as well. But I have to work. I would go after but I have to make good decisions and the first priority on my list of things to do tonight is study!!!

I know it seems as though I have been procrastinating, but honestly I haven't. I just have to make sure that I do well and with something due in my classes every week, that means studying up until the time of the test, even if it looks like your cramming. I just have to keep reminding myself that it's well worth it in the end.

Well I have to get ready for class. Check back in after thanksgiving for photos of my Thanksgiving break! ttyl

Hello All,
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. My break was wonderful. I didn't have to work and I got the chance to go home and stay with my family for 5 nights. This thanksgiving that was what I was most grateful for. I did take books home and as you will see in the photos below, I did some studying, but not as much as I had planned to do. But that's to be expected when I go home, because its hard to study there.

I was having such a good time that I almost forgot to take photos for you guys to see. So the photos below are of the end of Thanksgiving break. Besides the food went so fast, I couldn't get a photo of my family having dinner if I wanted to. I got a chance to see everyone back home, and spent time with my boyfriend's family as well. We also took professional photos (to be seen at a later date) and we went to see the new movie "This Christmas," which by the way is an great film. And most importantly I'm stuffed.

Now I'm feeling refreshed and ready to tackle my finals and wrap of the semester. Yesterday, I had a lab practical in one of my courses and despite some of the slacking off I did over the break, I think I did pretty good. (Note: I am in no way encouraging slacking off. Believe me, I just got lucky!) Now, it's time to put the finishing touches on my research paper and enjoy the rest of this semester. I have a meeting to get ready for now as president of the Resident Student Association, so I'll ttyl . Enjoy the pics below!

That's right. We only have 1 week left in this semester before finals and I'm too excited. I'm finishing up a research proposal for my senior year research in exercise and sports science and I think reality is finally setting in that I may not have much longer here. Next week is going to be about wrapping everything up and getting ready to get all As on the finals. That's the goal at least, we'll see how I do. Catch up with you guys later!
